what can be done to counter something like this? simply have more exchanges? Title: Re: does MtGox have incentive to manipulate the market?

No trust in an exchange means no trading there - so no fees, and they are done. I'm not sure what happened other than large size - but I'd like to know where that came from. Perhaps the exchange owners will post, who knows... |
